All the Government Money Can (legally) Buy

Apropos of my post yesterday about how the public are being methodically conditioned, "tuned up", to be compliant to neoliberalism, the US Center for Public Integrity spent the mid-term elections tracking advertising in the federal and state elections and state ballot initiatives.
